Book Description Dr. Caspar Nordling is developing a micro-organism that is
deadly to Aliens, but not to people. He's had a lot of luck engineering
selective viruses to kill rats and weevils, but this is something altogether
different. Highly speculative. Highly volatile. Just like the doctor himself. In
a remote sector of the galaxy, on an isolated Grant-Corp space station, the thin
line between science and horror is narrowing, and Philip and Joy Strunk, two
company employees, are finding themselves on the short end of the cut. --This

cache of stolen Imperial hardware and weapons, hidden somewhere on the desert
world of Tatooine. Whoever finds the treasure will have enough firepower to rule

it first, or else find it aimed at their heads!

notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett is heading through hyperspace with priceless
cargo. His destination: Tatooine, home of Jabba the Hutt. The cargo: one Han
Solo, frozen solid in carbonite. But if Boba thought encasing Solo in carbonite
was the hardest part of this mercenary mission, he's going to have his eyes
opened. It seems Boba's not the only one who wants to collect this bounty . . .
Taking place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Battle of
the Bounty Hunters is part of the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire storyline.

From Publishers Weekly Sala's stories combine all the key elements of classic
crime fiction--down-at-the-heel detectives, strange murders, mad geniuses,
beautiful women, sudden disappearances, psychotic murderers--in tongue-in-cheek
yarns more likely to amuse than to disturb. The stories exude a cartoonish aura
of menace and amiable dementia. In the first story, nebbish Avery Finch, author
of How to Be Polite in an Impolite World , is offered $10,000 to find a
kidnapped cat and becomes enmeshed with a murderous cult whose members stalk
about in silly cat masks. In another tale, a successful painter and cartoonist
is hypnotized and left without memory by an unscrupulous art dealer out to steal
the rights to the artist's inane but potentially valuable comic strip. In a
third story, a once successful detective tries to reclaim his former stature by
tracking down a beautiful woman whose disappearance seems related to the
notorious pillow killer, a strange urban menace who goes around suffocating
unwary commuters at the bus stops. Sala's stylish black-and-white drawings are a
stitch, serving as deft visual send-ups of his comically macabre plots.

From Publishers Weekly Just as the the word "weird" has many implications and
shades of meaning, so too does the latest--weird--work by this gifted and
perplexing writer. As Carroll ( Bones of the Moon ; Sleeping in Flame ) himself
says, "Life has a habit of turning dark corners." Applied here, this observation
seems an understatement: these convoluted corners are both light and dark, are
many, varied and constantly challenging. Flashing back and forth in time, the
story concerns the apparent suicide of filmmaker Philip Strayhorn, whose bizarre
Midnight series has attained cult status. Strayhorn's best friend, Weber
Gregston, a filmmaker with a more intellectual bent, is drawn into a dizzying
series of events by a videotape that Philip leaves him. The wickedly imaginative
twists and turns that follow are only one facet of this intriguing tale, which
seems at times like a framework on which to hang a myriad of metaphysical
notions. What, for instance, is one to make of a tattoo of a crow that comes
alive in an airplane lavatory? Carroll's style is elegant; his writing is by
turns disturbing, fey, sardonic, grim--frequently within a single paragraph. The
unexpected lies at the heart of this novel, and readers seeking a provocative
and stimulating--though not always easy--read will be rewarded. Copyright 1990

From the Publisher Izzy has happy memories from when she was very young, and
her father had been one of the greatest Bards in the land. But that had been
before she had been given over to a foster mother to live a life of poverty,
hard work and misery. As Izzy looks forward 19 days to her freedom, a new ruler
seizes the throne of her country. Now Izzy and her friend Giraud, the only
surviving heir of an out-of-favor lord, are running for their lives. From The
Critics VOYA Nineteen-year-old apprentice weaver Isbetta is ready to become a
journeyman, as soon as her craft-master Marda acknowledges her skill. Then Izzy
inadvertently learns that Marda, Izzy's foster parent, and the burgher Aymar
work for the mysterious Black Heron; Marda and Aymar killed Izzy's bard father
years ago, Giraud's father and brothers more recently, and are now plotting to
kill Giraud before selling Izzy to the local whoremaster. In a desperate attempt
to outmaneuver Aymar's thugs, Izzy and Giraud run straight into the clutches of
a nasty, cave-dwelling nantatsu. Saved only by the nantatsu's belief that Izzy
might be the Worldsinger, the one destined to free the beast from a bard's
spell, Izzy and Giraud must ascend Hearthold Mountain to sing the spell-breaking
song. Singing the song, Izzy finds an unforeseen power within and unwittingly
initiates the transformation of the world into a horrifying evil that only she
can reverse. To do so she must travel to the bards' stronghold and convince them
to assist her, never suspecting the pervasiveness of the insidious Black Heron's
influence. One of a series of books written to extend the world of The Bard's
Tale computer game, Curse of the Black Heron is barely salvaged from its
terribly trite beginning by the human foibles of Izzy and the creditably
original scenarios that ensue following her singing on Hearthold Mountain.
Having enough potential to tease, this could have been a sure-fire winner with
better editing. As it stands, however, players of the computer game and readers
of the series will be interested, while other fantasy readers may not wish to
slog through the first ninety pages to discover the more original and engaging
story. VOYA Codes: 3Q 3P M J S A/YA (Readable without serious defects, Will

Amazon.com Is there anyone cooler than Boba Fett? Like a cross between Clint
Eastwood and Chow Yun Fat--but with a jetpack and kneepad rocket dart
launchers--Fett has always symbolized cool, quiet power. If Fett wants you,
you're as good as got (that ridiculous incident over the Great Pit of Carkoon in
Return of the Jedi notwithstanding). So any book or comic featuring his royal
Fettness had better be good. Fortunately, our boy gets his due in this quality
Dark Horse collection of three previously published comics (Bounty on Bar-Kooda,
When the Fat Lady Swings, and Murder Most Foul). The story, by John Wagner of
Judge Dredd fame, is by no means brilliant, but it's clever enough to rise a cut
above the more schlocky Star Wars spinoff fare. What really sets this collection
apart, though, are the moody colors and expert composition of Cam Kennedy (Star
Wars: Dark Empire). From our favorite bounty hunter nonchalantly capping some
thug without even turning around to breezing through the defenses of a H'unn's
criminal stronghold, Death, Lies, and Treachery is classic Fett. --Paul Hughes

Book Description When George Lucas made the first Star Wars motion picture, a
scene was shot wherein Han Solo met Jabba the Hutt. But as any Star Wars fan
knows, Jabba didn't appear until the third film, Return of the Jedi. Lucas had
hit the technological wall -- he couldn't craft Jabba the way he wanted, so he
simply removed the scene from his initial, ground-breaking movie. Now, two
decades later, he has taken that footage -- with a young Harrison Ford
portraying a brash Han Solo -- and added Jabba to it. The result is incredible.
The hair will stand up on the back of your neck, and you'll feel twenty years
younger as you experience that remarkable thrill all over again. That's the same
feeling you'll have as you read the all-new adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope.
Crafted completely from scratch by Bruce Jones, Eduardo Barreto, and longtime
Star Wars artist Al Williamson, with a stunning cover by Greg and Tim
Hildebrandt, this adaptation includes the new scenes from the Special Edition.
For those who cannot wait for four monthly issues, and for the new readers who
will surely come looking for this comic, we are publishing this simultaneously
as a trade-paperback collection and as a four-issue, monthly comics series.

From Publishers Weekly This well-crafted collection of comics adaptations of
stories by Vachss, creator of the popular Burke mystery series and a former
federal investigator, is an unlikely artistic triumph. Vachss, who wrote an
authorized novel based on Batman in 1995, is not shy about moralizing; he
operates in an ethical gray area, where traditional lines between good and bad,
cop and criminal, are constantly blurred and broken. While highlighting the
law's ambiguities, Vachss also teases out lessons and consequences for his
characters, usually in the form of unexpected endings. No matter how hard the
characters try, they can't escape brutal victimization. An unbalanced hostage
negotiator, having successfully freed a captive, shoots the unarmed kidnapper at
the end of "Hostage," and in "Replay," an over-eager phone sex operator realizes
the man whose pedophilic fantasies she's entertaining is her own father, and she
was his first victim. A young gang member, bragging of his successful (and
bloody) initiation rite, is killed by associates of his victims; and so on. Left
alone, a few of these stark, graphic stories go a long way, but enhanced by
artwork contributed by a group of superb cartoonists, they come alive in new and
unexpected ways. The artists include David Lloyd, Bruce Jones and Warren Pleece,
who share a shadowy pen and ink style particularly well suited to these pieces'
mood and the subject matter. George Pratt's expressionistic work illuminates the
despair at the heart of these stories, while Gary Gianni's accurate line work
superbly depicts the urban landscape. Such a diverse group of art styles keeps
the anthology from groaning under its own weight and provides different
interpretations of Vachss's otherwise fairly similar stories. Copyright 2003

Description Andrew Vachss has long been a favorite of crime/suspense fiction
lovers. His novels have helped to re-define the genre. He defends children. He
does it in the courtrooms as an attorney, and he does it in the more public
forum of publishing as a writer. What he has learned in his investigations a
lawyer is translated - as `fiction` - in his writing. HARD LOOKS, features some
of the best stories from the original comics anthology, as well as four new,
never-before-printed adaptations. In Vachss' own words, `I may not be a good
writer, but I write for a good reason. And if that reason isn't apparent by the
time you've finished this collection, I didn't get the job done.`

Amazon.com Unlike authors who agree to have their work adapted to comics yet
remain distant from the finished product, Harlan Ellison loves comics and loves
that he has his own comic book. Dream Corridor is essential for die-hard Ellison
fans, not only because of the 14 adaptations of his short stories, but also
because it contains 5 all-new prose pieces. One of the prose pieces, "Chatting
with Anubis," won the Deathrealm Award and the Horror Writers Association's Bram
Stoker Award for best short story of 1995. If you're not familiar with Ellison's
work, Dream Corridor is a great sampler, and it's loaded with a diversity of art
styles with illustrations by top-notch artists, including Doug Wildey, Michael
T. Gilbert, Gary Gianni, Teddy Kristiansen, and David Lapham. "The End Time of
Leinard," "On the Slab," "Knox," "The Rough Boys," and "Cold Friend" are just a
few of the stories adapted.

Amazon.com In an introduction to one of the five stories adapted to comics in

Head Games 2006 Calendar: The Art of of Arthur
SuydamAuthor: Suydam, Arthur

From School Library Journal Grade 4-7-British narrator Alex Jennings does a
smashing job with C. S. Lewis' delightful classic (HarperCollins Children's,
1994), the third story in the Narnia series. The tale begins with a poor slave
boy named Shasta escaping from his adopted fisherman father who plans to sell
him to a brutish stranger. A dignified talking war horse named Bree helps Shasta
flee. Jennings plays Shasta with refreshing gentleness-listeners get a sense of
the boy's sensitivity and fear as he embarks on the adventure of his life. The
talented narrator plays Bree with the right amount of dignity and haughtiness.
This horse amuses with his witty observations about human behavior, and sense of
equine superiority. The horse and his boy hope to travel north to Narnia, and
encounter numerous adventures and strange characters, all beautifully portrayed
by Jennings. The most memorable supporting characters are another escaped child,
a tough girl named Aravis, and her talking mare called Hwin. Jennings brings
these two adventure seekers to life with his crystal clear narration. Thanks to
his skills as a storyteller, the action moves rapidly from one exciting episode
to the next. Evocative music plays at the beginning and end of each side of the
tape. This presentation will enchant young listeners and encourage them to read
the other titles in the series. It is helpful for students to have read The
Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe before enjoying
this, but The Horse and the Boy stands alone as enthralling, self-contained
entertainment. Brian E. Wilson, Evanston Public Library, IL Copyright 2003 Reed

From Library Journal This is an all-cast dramatization of the third book in
Lewis's "Narnia" series. Those who have read all seven books will be better able
to put this performance in context, but the uninitiated will enjoy this
adventure tale in which, once again, intrepid children outwit nefarious
grown-ups. Shasta is a young boy living in Calormene with a cruel man who claims
to be his father. One night he overhears his "father" offering to sell him as a
slave, so Shasta makes a break and sets out for the North. He meets Bree, a
talking horse who becomes his companion. On their way they encounter Aravis, a
high-born girl escaping an arranged marriage, and her talking horse. Despite
their differences the children and horses learn to work together to reach the
freedom they long for. In the meantime, they uncover a Calormene plot to conquer
Narnia. The performances are energetic, and the characters easily
distinguishable. This recording should not replace the book but rather should
serve as an introduction to it. For family listening.ANann Blaine Hilyard, Lake

Amazon.com If you're like me, you know that all of the Star Wars stuff that
keeps coming out cannot possibly measure up to the original movies. However,
Classic Star Wars from Goodwin and Williamson recaptures the joy of seeing Star
Wars for the first time. The book reproduces the newspaper strips published
between 1981 and 1984, but instead of merely reprinting the strips, the images
are arranged to be more suitable for the comic book page. The result is
sometimes slow and repetitive, though that's easy to forget with the gorgeous
art and fun story.

From the Publisher This is a unique edition of Moreau. The text of the first
(American) printed version (1896), with appended footnotes recording all
variants up to 1924 and annotations of whatever strictly needs such, takes up
little more than a third of its pages. Seven appendices provide the only
available transcription of Wells's first draft, details of the emendations that
he made before 1900 and reportedly intended to incorporate in a future edition
of the book, accounts of six film versions and one stage adaptation of Moreau,
critical synopses of Moreau's literary "children," etc. Preceding all this are
almost 50pp. on Wells's life and thoughts, with particular reference to Moreau.
From The Critics John Clute - Interzone It is hard to think of a more qualified
person to give us, at long last, a version of an H. G. Wells novel which could
be trusted... Professor Philmus's edition is extraordinarily full.

From Publishers Weekly This captivating, strange book may be most readers'
first look at Hong Kong manga. If they've watched any martial arts movies,
they'll know what to expect: stunning action scenes that are a lot more
important than the underlying plot (in fact, the action may even take the place
of a plot). Wong's energetic pen and ink line drawings of colliding bodies are
effective, complemented by the rather gaudy coloring. Readers who want
stop-action pictures of martial arts combat can enjoy the book on that level,
since they fill most of the pages. Beyond that, the story is simultaneously
complicated and simpleminded. Although Earth has fallen into the hands of a
dictator after meteorites hit the planet, converting most of the surface to
molten lava and killing most of the population, the cities and landscapes of the
future world look exactly like contemporary settings. The only real change is
that the dictator has the power to stage extravagant gladiatorial tournaments to
perfect his high-tech warriors. Those who resist the dictator fight with
old-style, spiritual martial arts. Their champion is the teenaged Tiger. In this
volume, the first of many to come, Tiger goes up against Single-Minded Arhat,
Regent of Tibet. The combat is wild-"Titanium doors crumple like tissue
paper"-when the two square off for 30 pages of tech-art-enhanced combat. If the
final effect is less than thrilling, it may be because the text translation is
stiff or that the storytelling conventions of a different culture are unfamiliar
to U.S. readers. But comics fans can still enjoy this book by just looking at
the pretty pictures. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. PATRICK

stigma of adultery by wearing the embroidered scarlet "A" on her clothing.
Hill's reading captures the story's pathos and gives the reader empathy for the

character and reads the narration clearly and swiftly. The pace conveys a sense

From School Library Journal YA-- This first book in a trilogy takes place
five years after Return of the Jedi (Ballantine, 1983) by James Kahn. Han and

and the evil Empire. Enter Grand Admiral Thrawn, ex-warlord of the empire, with
his rogue Jedi knight. They attack the Republic and attempt to kidnap Luke
Skywalker and Princess Leia for their own nefarious purposes. It's great fun to
romp with the ``Star Wars'' cast of humans, droids, and aliens again. While it
is not on a par with Zahn's creative, powerful works such as Cascade Point

caricature of violence, Jabba the Hutt: The Art of the Deal is probably one of
the more lackluster Dark Horse titles. Bringing together four previously
published comics--The Gaar Suppoon Hit, The Hunger of Princess Nampi, The
Dynasty Trap, and Betrayal--this collection is an exercise in Jabba worship, a
worthy pursuit to be sure but one deserving of more inspired hands. True to its
title, the plot line revolves around Jabba's byzantine wheeling and dealing, but
the clumsy writing and cartoony art end up making the Hutt look more silly than
sinister. A good one for the kids if it weren't such a gorefest. Check out Gorga

caricature of violence, Jabba the Hutt: The Art of the Deal is probably one of
the more lackluster Dark Horse titles. Bringing together four previously
published comics--The Gaar Suppoon Hit, The Hunger of Princess Nampi, The
Dynasty Trap, and Betrayal--this collection is an exercise in Jabba worship, a
worthy pursuit to be sure but one deserving of more inspired hands. True to its
title, the plot line revolves around Jabba's byzantine wheeling and dealing, but
the clumsy writing and cartoony art end up making the Hutt look more silly than
sinister. A good one for the kids if it weren't such a gorefest. Check out Gorga
the Hutt in Dark Horse's top-drawer Boba Fett: Death, Lies, and Treachery for
your Hutt fix. --Paul Hughes

Amazon.com Can you imagine a Superman comic book in which another superhero,
while sitting on a swing in a park, asks Superman if he believes in God? If you
can, you might think it would be very difficult to pull off without being
entirely silly (in a bad way). Well, give Mike Allred a great big prize for his
wonderfully enjoyable and off-center comic book The Superman Madman Hullabaloo!
Not only is there a conversation about the existence of God, this story features
mutant underground street beatniks, a super zombie, a health-food food fight,
and a skyscraper with legs. That Allred could get away with writing and drawing
such a subversive take on one of the most tightly controlled characters in
comics is, as Matt Wagner says in his introduction, a testament to the "Allred
chutzpah." Perhaps you are wondering what sort of hullabaloo this is. Mike
Allred's lovable hero, Madman--a chap whose real identity is unknown even to
himself, and who has no real superpowers--runs into Superman. Literally, in a
cross-dimensional vehicle, he runs into Superman. That collision leaves them
both a bit mixed up, and they're going to have to go from Snap City to
Metropolis and back to solve this one. It's no wonder the back cover proclaims
this book is "more bizarre than Bizarro." --Jim Pascoe

Book Description When The Electra runs across an abandoned Chinese radar ship
adrift in the Pacific, the crew members plan to lay claim to the ship and the
millions of dollars worth of top-secret electronics on it! However, collecting
on those millions is easier said than done. The Wan Xuan may be abandoned, but
it`s far from deserted. Something is alive inside the ship`s computers, and it`s
building monstrous bodies for itself from pieces of machinery and the corpses of
the hapless Chinese crew!--This text refers to the Paperback edition.
